Lovely time painting and drawing on holiday. Working plain air with the ink pen and painting with locally bought paint and paper. #sketchbook #holidayart #pleinairpainting
I love the beginning of this with the sea washing over the rock pool plants. It made me think of a couple of small videos I made of the same kind of thing in Cyprus. The sea is so mesmerising.
Discovered your channel recently. You have fast become my favorite place to binge watch. Love your exploratory nature and your art. I appreciate how much of your process you are sharing as that's a rarity these days. Thx
Loved your favourite piece in Buddy Gaynor. Would love to see a larger version of that. I know what you mean about immersing yourself when looking in the rock pools. I’m the same with pebbles etc on a beach. The colours, shapes, tones etc. Those textures you let us enjoy too. Loved them. Thank you for sharing. Have a good Easter. 💐
Fiona....you read my mind....I can't stop thinking about a big painting from the Buddy pages !!!! I hope the sun is shining where you are and have a lovely Easter 🥰🐰
Lovey lovely Spain content. So fun to see you using Spain-tools...and your hands!! Those amazing blue sketchbook pages look almost like felt and thread.. my favourites too. 💌🥰💛
Thanks for taking us away with you Gaynor...love Dali's sculptures! Your spontaneity is infectious.. not something I would find easy..perhaps I needed to 'break out' from being neat and tidy! Love Thursdays with you and your art 💞
Another lovely refreshing life affirming video, thankyou for taking the time to film content on your holiday, I particularly like your favourite rockpool sketchbook pages. Have a relaxing Easter weekend X.
ANITA .... so pleased you commented! You wrote about kayaking, sea weed, sea pinks and shells to fire my imagination. I have never seen such a beautiful underwater garden as I did in Spain !! All I could think about was your lovely description and how to have a go at describing it in pen & paint ! More trips needed 😂 Have a fantastic Easter 🥰
Thank you Tricia - I had no expectation of getting anything 'Rockpool' like but I am so glad I gave it a go - I have been practising in my Sketchbook since returning home ! Have a lovely Easter 🥰
you crouched down balancing on that rock! can you also dance on the head of a pin? : ) your work is beautiful as always, and your art making philosophies too!!
Hi Judith......that was so funny......I could feel my husband willing me to fall in for a bit of good footage 😂😂😂 I am so glad you liked it. Have a fantastic Easter 🥰🐰
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful !!! Just love the process of discovery/investigation- those truly precious, creative moments of just being in the moment and the sheer delight and anticipation of what will unfold on the page before one. Thank you for always inspiring us!🤩🎨😍
I m absolutely adoring a very small and lightweight watercolor box that would be great for traveling. The name of it is Koi Water Colors Pocket Field Sketch Box by Sakura Color Products Corporation. It also includes a travel brush.
I love your favourite pages in 'buddy'! Thank you for showing us glimpses of your holiday especially the wall with red flowers and blue containers. I wish I was there! Have a great week Gaynor. x
@@gaynorpattle thank you so much. I hope you also have a great Easter. I saw you wearing a jacket on holiday, it was 27 in Durban today and it’s autumn!
@@gaynorpattle never mind. When it’s August and you’ve gone somewhere on an outing, I’ll be cold and wearing my fleecy pajamas. I love how you acknowledge all the comments, you must be very good at thank you letters! I’m glad you had a break, it’s so good to go and find other treasures
What a wonderful holiday, I felt like I was tagging along, so very enjoyable. Love the spontaneity of your work and your manner, it's so refreshing and simply delightful to watch.
So the concertina with the ripped pages has a very nice start to it. Why don’t you just collage over the holes and add some layers to the white spots and just continue?? That is how you work anyway… Could be very interesting. The blue concert Tina towards the end of the vid had some small rips . The white of the rips played very nicely against all the blue. Make it intentional! Add some more rips with the same kind of pattern or shape. That could be just one more of your marks. Why not? All the paper texture could add up to some very rich background texture. Just an opinion, but I would be happy to hear if you decide to try that and how it comes out. I used to be very much interested in collage and layered papers during Art school. Now I mostly do watercolor with a bit of mixed media coming into play. Makes it interesting!
Everything is happy and Gaynor. I love your favourite pages in sketchbook. Those jewel tones are gorgeous. What was the Golden medium you used that you said you're loving right now?
Hi Gardenia, thank you for your lovely comment. The medium is a gel gloss medium. It's been patiently waiting in amongst pots of this and that for ages !!
Do you have any words of wisdom of how to get over procrastination! Busy mum of two who has all good intentions of starting but somehow just put it off, am I not in love with art or am I just worried it will not be good enough? Or am I thinking of other things I need to do. Your work and channel is so inspiring keep giving us these wonderful vlogs.❤
Hello Petalflower 😊 Free time for a busy mum is Precious ! Find small bits of time, set the timer and play with warm up drawings. I think we all think worry about not being good enough, tell yourself that this is your time to mess about with art stuff and enjoy it ! Do the things you need to do but give yourself permission to enjoy your creativity 🥰
@@gaynorpattle thanks this is good advice, will definitely need to try this, give myself permission to play, not done this in a long time. Setting a timer is great, thanks again and keep doing what you do, brilliant and relaxing videos.❤️😍
